Looking for a simple strawberry recipe? These Thermomix Strawberry Cupcakes are for you!
Strawberry season is well and truly here in Queensland and we've been making the most of it by stocking up on yummy strawberries while they are cheap. These Thermomix Strawberry Cupcakes are a great way of using up the loads of strawberries we have been buying lately and make a great morning tea treat for both myself and the kids.
To make these Thermomix Strawberry Cupcakes, I have simply used my go to Vanilla Cupcake recipe and added sliced strawberries to it - how easy is that?!
Instead of incorporating the sliced strawberries into the mixture, I like to add them right at the end when the cupcake mixture has been put into the pans so that you can see the strawberry pieces poking out the top of the cupcakes.
Tips for Making this Thermomix Strawberry Cupcakes Recipe:
- You can use fresh or frozen strawberries for this recipe.
- To keep the shape of your strawberries, it's important to use your spatula to stir them through the mixture.
- These cupcakes are freezer friendly.
- You can top these cupcakes with icing sugar if you wish.
- If you don't have a Thermomix, you can find the conventional cooking instructions for this recipe here.
